  • LE GROTTE DI PERTOSA-AULETTA Situate Nel Massiccio Dei Monti
    LE GROTTE DI PERTOSA-AULETTA Situate nel massiccio dei Monti Alburni, le Grotte di Pertosa-Auletta sono uno dei geositi focali del Geoparco “Cilento” e presentano due unicità: • sono le uniche grotte in Italia dove è possibile navigare un fiume sotterraneo, il Negro; • sono le sole in Europa a conservare i resti di un villaggio palafitticolo risalente al II millennio a.C. Il fiume offre un affascinante ed inconsueto viaggio in barca , immersi in un silenzio magico, interrotto soltanto dal fragore degli scrosci della cascata sotterranea. LE VISITE GUIDATE Le Grotte si estendono per circa tremila metri nel massiccio dei Monti Alburni, in un percorso ricco di concrezioni, dove stalattiti e stalagmiti decorano ogni spazio con forme, colori e dimensioni diverse, suscitando stupore ed emozione. Due percorsi turistici di diversa durata accessibili a tutti (parziale e completo) e un percorso speleologico per i più avventurosi, vi permetteranno di esplorare caverne ed anfratti scavati nella natura in milioni di anni. Un viaggio di oltre un chilometro, con 400 metri da percorrere in barca navigando il fiume sotterraneo, giungendo alla cascata interna per visitare la Sala del Paradiso, per poi continuare sul ramo settentrionale scoprendo la maestosità della Grande Sala, le particolarità della Sala delle Spugne e il fascino del Braccio delle Meraviglie. La visita non è faticosa e l’accesso non presenta alcuna difficoltà, pertanto è adatta a persone di tutte le età . IL MUSEO DEL SUOLO UN’ESPOSIZIONE UNICA SUL SUOLO Una struttura museale unica in Italia e con pochi omologhi nel resto del mondo, inaugurata il 22 aprile 2016, nel giorno in cui le Nazioni Unite celebrano la Terra e che propone un singolare itinerario di conoscenza dedicato alla terra, e più precisamente a ciò che avviene in quei tre metri, fondamentali per la vita sul nostro pianeta, che dalla superficie si portano in basso.

  • From Geoheritage to Geoeducation, Geoethics and Geotourism: a Critical Evaluation of the Greek Region
    geosciences Review From Geoheritage to Geoeducation, Geoethics and Geotourism: A Critical Evaluation of the Greek Region George Zafeiropoulos 1,*, Hara Drinia 1,* , Assimina Antonarakou 1 and Nikolaos Zouros 2 1 Department of Geology and Geoenvironment, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 15784 Athens, Greece; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography, University of Aegean, 81100 Mytilini, Greece; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (G.Z.); [email protected] (H.D.) Abstract: The purpose of this review is, initially, to emphasize the importance of geoenvironmental education for the promotion and preservation of geological heritage and geoethical values, and based on these, to present the current situation in Greece. Geoeducation is a broader component of environmental education which aims to promote the geological heritage of a place and its geocon- servation. It is a key integral tool for tackling environmental issues and therefore further assisting in sustainable development. Greece is known for its exceptional and rare natural beauty, as well as for the abundance of natural resources and its remarkable geological features. For this reason, six global geoparks have already been established in this country. However, its nature protection is mainly considered as the protection of biodiversity, while the term “geodiversity” is almost absent in Greek law. The importance of establishing a legal framework for the protection of geotopes is underlined by the fact that their promotion and rational management create opportunities for sustainable development, as well as to become quality tourist destinations (geotourism) through Citation: Zafeiropoulos, G.; Drinia, nature protection and education. Geodiversity can gain public attention and have a positive impact H.; Antonarakou, A.; Zouros, N.

  • Athens-Mt. Olympus-Zagoria Table of Contents Trip Highlights, Map, Tour
    Athens-Mt. Olympus-Zagoria Table of Contents Trip Highlights, Map, Tour Details, Itinerary, What’s included, Itinerary Changes, Terrain, Condition Grading, Accommodation, Starting point and getting there, Food, Weather, Gear checklist, Currency & Banking, Passports, Visas Believe it or not Greece is primarily a mountainous country with more than 800 larger or smaller mountains, 53 of them with altitude exceeding the 2000m zone. The mountains, which served as natural barriers and boundaries, dictated the character of the country and have always played an important role in the life of Greeks, who incorporated them in their myths and legends as sacred places full of spiritual energy. They become "peaks of identity”, tangible and towering symbolic landscapes representing a distinctive set of community and cultural ideals. Our trip starts in Athens and the next day we drive to Litochoro, the village at the base of Mt Olympus. On the list of iconic mountains of the world, Mount Olympus surely has a place. Not only is it a geographically impressive peak, rising straight from the Aegean Sea to a height of 2,918 m, but it’s also one of great mythological importance. We will spend three days hiking in the mountain wilderness with a benefit of a bed, hot food and good company. Next, we head towards Zagoria one of the most intriguing regions of Northern Greece, and on the way we will visit Vergina, the royal burial site and the first capital of the Macedonian dynasty. From there we drive to Monodendri, and for the next three days we will hike the trails that connect the bucolic villages of Zagoria.
